That's the problem, you're just looking at specs.
Look at a Geforce 680M, it's not a Desktop Geforce 680 in any sense of the word, more like a Geforce 660Ti with bugger-all bandwidth and lower clock speeds, so it would probably perform more like a vanilla Geforce 660 in memory-bandwidth hungry games.
The Radeon 7970M? Is more or less a Desktop Radeon 7870, but clocked lower.
Surely you can build a Desktop that matches that for cheaper. ;)
Then when the time comes to upgrade, you throw the whole laptop out instead of just a little overclocking and a new GPU, costing you more in the long run.
Not to mention SCREENS, most laptops are only running with 1920x1080 resolution screens (Or lower!) and they are usually crappy TN panels instead of IPS.
